Mind you it would still be the first instance of it since the original series, so it is nevertheless interesting.

I don't really see it that way. Team Rocket has essentially shared their Pokemon since Hoenn with James using Jessie's Pokemon and the other way around. I think at least once we've seen Jessie training James' Pokemon.

There are a lot of episodes (and some movies too) where TR assists or allies themselves with Ash and co. There's very, very, very few where any of the trio "joins" the group, and it usually doesn't even last the entire episode.

I'm part of the staff at Project Pokemon! Smod in forums, AOP in IRC, Administrator on Shoddy. Come visit us. Our Project is Pokemon!

Island of the Giant Pokemon - Agreed to play nice until they found their Trainers.
Bound for Trouble - Agreed to a truce with Pikachu.
Grin to Win - The group forces Meowth to help them solve their problem.
Forest Grumps - A variation. This time Jessie and Misty are switched.
Got Miltank - Meowth briefly sides with the group but gets blasted off anyway.
I Feel Skitty! - Meowth betrays his friends so Skitty can escape.
Jumping Rocket Ship - Played it straight. Meowth lies to trick Pikachu.

Like the three clip shows before it (AG120, DP048, DP120) these two episodes might be Japan exclusive.

but the three clip shows were skipped as they were only remembering their time in the region but these episodes have some story so i wanna see it.i really wanna see Latias v Rypherior more than the dawn episode.

when will these episodes air in english-
"Hikari-Setting off on a new journey)" and "Nibi Gym! The greatest crisis ever"

There's nothing official yet, but we'll get them eventually.

Maybe like Chronicles they're waiting for a large amount of material to come out of Japan so they can dub it all together and package it as a season. It took years to get all of Chronicle's footage. About five years altogether.

Okay IIRC there was a Pokemon Sunday Episode where if I remember right the hosts discussed what Pokemon Ash would bring back for the Sinnoh League correct? At least that is what people said they were discussing or maybe I misunderstood. Anyways IIRC I saw Butterfree, Primeape, etc. in some previews of that episode.

So my question is did Haunter ever appear at all in that? I was just thinking if he did that would confirm his spot as an "Ash Pokemon" where the Spurt Opening and Glory Day Ending didn't.
